单词 | Deep pocket argument |
释义 | 「深口袋」論點 In tort, the notion that a defendant, by virtue of its big standing and strong financial backing or ‘deep pocket’ is best able to bear a loss and therefore should do so even in situations where it is not at fault. It is a justification offered for the attribution of vicarious liability in certain situations, such as an employer’s liability for the actions of an employee: Piller KG v Manufacturing Processes [1976] 1 All ER 779, 2 WLR 262 (CA). See also Fault; Public policy; Vicarious liability. 就侵權法的假定而言,指憑藉被告人的重要地位及雄厚資金或「深口袋」,他/她是最能夠承擔損失的人,即使在他/她並無錯失的情況亦然。在若干情況中,此論點成為歸咎轉承法律責任的一項充分理由,例如僱主為其僱員的行為負有法律責任:Piller KG v Manufacturing Processes [1976] 1 All ER 779,2 WLR 262 (英國上訴法院)。另見 Fault; Public policy; Vicarious liability。 |
